Starting out your game dev journey has never been easier. With the sheer amount of tools available today and all of the amazing communities online, it's just up to you to pick-and-choose your path.

Do you love a certain game? You might be able to mod it. If you can’t, you can still pick from a vast list of free game engines and try to remake the game. If you feel even more adventurous, you can even try to create a completely new fan game as an homage to those games you love. In this video, we're taking a look at some amazing stories of games that started as mods, remakes, and fan-made games.

UPDATE: Thank you to all the commenters who pointed out the typo in the original upload!
